Check out the pixels on the fireballs here.

Hyper Metroid was fun. Fairly frustrating at times with long stretches between saves and being on the verge of death most of the time. I like all the color swaps on items/sprites, though. The escape was fucking bonkers. It's like, 20 minutes long. Once you get about halfway through the game, the difficulty levels out a bit as you have more ammo and health. The Phantoon fight is still a pain in the ass, though.

I also enjoyed Retroid. It's a remake of the original Metroid with the Super Metroid engine.

Here's yet another horrible rendition from the same calendar. That artist could have learned from this thread...

They tried a bit here, actually. Sorry the late 80's, early 90's love of pixel art by Nintendo upsets you so much.

>you CANT print a display effect
Of course you can. If the game was really intended to look like it had scanlines all over the place it would be more than possible.

Actually I have to partially recant this, since after having gone through almost 10 years of Nintendo power calendars, I found one example. The fireballs and wings/eyes of the metroid there show scanline artifacts reproduced.

So it's not never ever, it's just almost never.
